YMMV

A lot depends on the ptf.

Some ptf's you can do an
APYPTF LICPGM(...) SELECT(...) APY(*TEMP) DELAYED(*NO)
and they are fully done.

Other ptf's you can do that, and they'll be applied but they may have 
additional actions.  Perhaps their cover letter says something like "you 
can apply this ptf immediately but you have to ENDTCP and STRTCP before it 
takes effect".  Granted, nowadays you might as just as well IPL because 
everybody and their brother is going to know it.  You may notice a 
difference after an IPL because an IPL normally involves most of the 
special activities involved.

Lastly there are ptf's that cannot be applied with that command.  Instead 
they must be applied with
APYPTF LICPGM(...) SELECT(...) APY(*TEMP) DELAYED(*YES)
Which says that it will apply the ptf during the next IPL.

Ok, there's is one more category.  These are the ones that say we don't 
care if you apply them delayed or immediate.  You still have to perform 
some additional actions.  Like recompile all programs that ...
I've seen a few of these.
